Comments on: AT&T to offer live mobile TV in May

Company has finally set a date to start offering MediaFlo's live mobile TV service. But the big question is whether anyone will actually tune in.

Mobile TV is inevitable

Adoption rates are always unpredictable, just as the early days of the Internet. I've seen MediaFLO and the quality is so stunning, you forget you're looking at a small screen. Eventually, broadcast TV will be on most phones just like cameras on them are now becoming ubiquitous.

live mobil tv for at&t

what is wrong with the already-available mobi-tv?? for ten dollars a month on my nokia e62, i don't think i could do any better.

MobiTV

Agreed; MobiTV is pretty cool. Back when I first got my cell phone (and had plenty of disposable income), I signed up for MobiTV and would watch it whenever I could, just because!

On the downside, I'm not much of a TV watcher in general, and right now it doesn't really make sense to pay $10/month to watch TV on my cell phone when I'm not willing to pay for a cable or satellite subscription on my TV.

what about iPhone?

Will it be avalable on the iPhone too? i have tv on Alltel, about 20 some channels.

Mobile TV is a "flop" in Switzerland..!

To put it plainly, [b]nobody[/b] wants to walk around clutching a
cell phone while trying to watch TV on a 2 inch screen..!! The
service has been available here in Switzerland for quite some time
now but I have [b]never[/b] seen anyone actually watching it..!!

ATT should widely deploy

At Videography Lab we would love to view Comedy Central shows on our laptop using Sierra Wireless Aircard and our Junxion Box.

By all appearances ATT will not be widely deploying the new service on it's 3G network. We fear another debacle like the original iPhone which did not feature 3G.

Why limit the live mobile service to just a few devices?

who really wants this?

As recently as last year, a survey of 1,004 users by In-Stat found that while many people were interested in viewing mobile video, 80% of the respondents said they wouldn't pay $15 a month for it and that's not the total downside at all. In my opinion, there is another major problem with all of this: there's almost no evidence that anyone wants mobile TV. In fact, some new studies I have come across lately suggests just the opposite. People "on the go" just aren't that interested in watching live TV, full stop, period, end of story. In fact, among the small percentage of cell-phone subscribers who do watch video on their phones, the vast majority opt for the occasional $2 download over monthly subscriptions, according to IDC (International Data Corp).
